QR - API
Turn any text into a scannable QR code with one API call
What this is
A bare-bones API that turns text into a QR code PNG via a GET request, flat $10/month unlimited. For developers who don't want to host their own QR generator.
Our one-line summary — not the founder’s tagline.
- How it works
- An API that generates a QR code PNG from a GET request containing any text — no library to install or encoder to maintain.
- Pricing
- $10/month flat, unlimited requests, no rate limits.
- Best for
- Developers who want to add QR generation to their app without self-hosting an encoder.
- Watch out
- Built and launched by a first-time developer in two sessions — an early, unproven product.

League price & chart
No money. No seat. It goes on your record — and in 28 days reality settles it.
Calls are closed while we rebuild accounts. You can still read every one of them.
Dev. Launched 14d ago on Product Hunt, picking up 2 votes. Today, it's been quiet for 14 days and the price has started to bleed.
Already bleeding a little every day, and it accelerates the longer it stays quiet.
We check this site every day, ourselves. A founder can post “still working on it” — a claim like that doesn't price. What we price is what we can verify from the outside: evidence, not announcements. The real question isn't “will this be huge?” — it's “will they still be moving in four weeks?”
The market viewHow this launch is priced and ranked in our league — the investor side of the page.
ranked by the reality anchor, not the market price
It launched on Product Hunt with 2 votes.
No matter how much money goes in. There is no pump here — you can't make yourself right by buying more. The line only moves on things that actually happened: an award, revenue that grew, a new platform, code that shipped — or silence.
En eski 3 hareket bu listede yok — toplam 15 olay var. A launch that goes quiet eases down a little at a time — never a cliff you could have run from the night before.
Daily tracking just started for this launch — the first point is on the board. A second reading lands with tomorrow's run, and the curve builds from there.
How the launch is moving on its own board, day by day — the crowd's attention.
A flat line is normal: votes stop within a day or two of launch, on every board. What's unusual — and what actually counts — is a launch that keeps pulling votes long after its day is over.
About
qr-api generates QR codes on demand. Send a GET request with any text, get back a ready-to-use PNG — no library to install, no encoder to maintain. $10/month, unlimited requests, no rate limits. Built with Node.js, Express, Postgres, deployed on Railway with Stripe billing. This is my first project ever — went from never using git to a live paid product in two sessions, mistakes and all. Would love feedback on pricing and positioning!

The board it did best on sets the price. Every other board only adds to it if the launch also placed high on that board too — because just showing up somewhere isn't an achievement. Listing on twelve directories is free; placing well on them isn't.
